How to Promote Peace.

How can we do our duty and bear
our testimony against war.
1.-Pcrs0nalyy' by becoming recon-
ciled first, to God secondly, to our
selves, so that conscience and conduct
will harmonize MiroLy, to our fellow
men, 50 as TO feel towards all inimical
or even disagreeable persons as Jesus
Christ did.
2.-ErperimcntaNy and for an en-
ample to others first, join no military
company; secondly, discountenance
the use of dress, guns, swords and in
struments of music, unless they are
used to promote other than military
objects.
3.-Point out the true character of
those pictures, poems, histories and
novels which serve to make war ap-
pear in false colors and as beautiful ,
attractive and glorious; and avoid
their use in your family and school.
4.-By using our pens and tongue to
teach that war is unchristian and thus
strengthen and embolden the testimo-
ny of many uneasy consciences partl-
ally convinced Of this fact.
5.-Circulating Peace papers among
both children and adults; placing true
stories of wars hideousness and wick
edness in home and Sunday-school IL
braries; commencing histories which
tell the rcpulsively true story OF wars
and recount admiringly the triumphs
of peace, putting the stress and en-
phasis on those passages which record
the works of God and not on those
wrought by Satan. Such are Little
Folks History of England" Leeds

Popular Errors.

l. That there is any nutriment in
beef tea made from extracts. There
is none whatever.
2. That gelatine is nutritious. 1t
will not keep q cat alive. Beef tea
and gelatine, however, possesses q GER
tain reparative power, we know not
how.
8. That an egg is equal to pound
of meat, and that every sick person
can eat eggs. Many, especially those
of q nervous or bilious temperament,
can not eat them; and to such, eggs
are injurious.
4. That because milk is an import
ant article Of food it must be forced
upon a patient. Food that person
can not endure will not cure.
5. That arrowroot is nutritious. 1t
is simply starch and water, useful as a
restorative, quickly prepared.
6. That cheese is injurious in all
cases. 1t is. as rule, contra-indicat-
ed, being usually indigestible; but it
is a concentrated nutriment and n
waste-repairer and often cravcd.
7. That the cravings of a patient
are whims and ought to be denied.
The stomach often needs, Graves for
and digests articles not laid down in
any dictionary. Such are, for exam
pie, fruits, jams, pickles, cake, ham,
or bacon, with fat, cheese, butter aud
milk.
s. That an infexible diet may be
marked out which shall apply to every
case. Choice of Il given list Of articles
allowable in given cases must be de-
cided by the opinion of the stomach.
The stomach is right and the theory is
wrong, and the judgment admits no
appeal. J.,
A diet which would keep a healthy
man healthy might kill sick man :;
and diet sufficient to sustain sick
man would not keepa well man alive.
Increased quantity of food. especially
of liquids, does not mean increased
nutriment, rather decreased, since the
digestion is overtaXed and weakened.
Strive to give the good in as concen-
trated form as possible. Consult the
patients stomach in preference to his
cravings; and if the stomach rejects a
certain article, do not force it.

We are never more subject to attack
from our spiritual enemies than when
in the garden of case. There is less
danger for us when out in the conflict
of life than when we sit down to rest.

The reward of being liberal is not
that you will find five dollar note in
the street next day, or that you will be
prosperous in your business, but that
it will make you more liberal. The
man who is working at his character
is working at his highest work. There
is nothing like it. The highest aspi-
ration of life should be to work out
your own salvation and be approach
ing The stature of the perfect man.
God who has begun good work will
perfect it.
George Stephenson was once asked
by scientific lady what he considered
the most powerful force in nature.
co." said he, in a gallant spirit, II
will soon answer that question; it is
the eye of The woman for the man
who loves her; for if woman look
with affection on a young man, and he
should 90 to the uttermost ends of the
earth, the recollection of that look will
bring him back. There is no other
force in nature that could do that"
If "as the twig is bent the tree is in
clincd" is applicable in any teaching,
it is especially so in the peace cause.
In those religious denominations
where non-rcsistant principles are in
culcated and made a part of the doc
trine of the church, u very large per
cent. Of the children are conscienti-
ously opposed to war, and especially
on reaching maturity do they see that
the gospel forbids the spirit and prac-
tice Of all military pursuits.
A GooD DEACoN's EARNEST Con-
FEssIoN.-An old deacon was asked
the other day "How do you like your
new pastor?" "First-rate," he replied,
"except in one thing" "Wbats
that?n at is this" continued the dea.
con, "the Lord never made him to tell
Jokes, and yet he insists on telling
them. l never like to laugh, and yet
I have to do it constantly, just to save
the pastors feelings"
AT first they called me a deceiver,
seducer, and Il blasphemer. After
ward. when God had brought his
plaques upon them, they styled me an
honest, virtuous man. But their good
renorts and their bad reports were
nothing to me; for the one did not
Iift me up, nor the other cast ME
down: praised be the Lord.
Remember that every person, how
ever low, has rights and feelings.

80 Distinction of Clergy and Laity il:
The Apostolic Church.

"In the apostolic church preaching
and teaching were not confined to n
particular class, but every convert
could proclaim the gospel To unbeliev-
erS, and every Christian who had the
rift could pray and teach and cNhort
in the grcgation. The New Tcsta-
mcnt knows no spiritual aristocracy
or nobility, but calls all believers
saints though many fell far short OF
their vocation. Nor does it recognize
Il special priesthood in distinction
from the people, as meditating be-
tween God and the laity. 1t knows
only one High Priest, Jesus Christ,
and clearly teaches the universal
priesthood, as well as the universal
kingship, of believers. 1t does this in
Il far deeper and larger sense than the
Old; in sense, too, which even to
this day is not fully realized. The en-
tire body of Christians are called 'cler-
gv,' peculiar people, the heritage OF
God.
"On the other hand it is equally
clear that there was in the apostolic
church ministerial ctice, instituted
by Christ, for the very purpose of rails
| ing the mass of believers from infancy
and pupiIage to independent and inn
mediate intercourse with God, to that
prophetic, priestly, and kingly posi-
ton, which in principle belongs to
them ALL" Eph. iv. ll-l3.-Ihitip
Schdf': "Histo,y Of the Christian
Church. Tol. II, PIP. 124 l25. :,
"In earlier times there was grand
er faith. For the kingdom of God
was kingdom of priests. Not only
the -four and twenty elders before the
throne, but the innumerable souls OF
the sanctified upon whom the second
death had no power were kings and
priests unto God Only i'll that high
sense was priesthood practicable of
| Christian men. For the shadow had
passed; the reality had come; the one
High Priest of Christianity was
Christ. ."-HdtcHs "Banppton Lectt"cs

is the authority Of the church alone
which has made distinction between
clergy and laity. Where there is no
college of ministers you administer
the sacrament; you baptiZe, you are Il
priest for yourself alone. And where
there are three of you, there is a
church. though you be only laymen.

Even the greatest and the wisest
man has his weaknesses and his fol-
lies. The exhibit Of these weaknesses
and follies ought not to discredit his
ability and worth; nor yet ought it to
put those weaknesses and follies in a
more attractive light before his admir-
ers. He is great or wise in spite of
these defects, not because of them. In
looking at any man as an example in
his sphere, it is therefore important to
distinguish between his good points
which are worthy of imitation, and
his defects which ought to be avoided.

What Others Say.
1.-THE P7.eSbuterian.)


Is THE MATTER SErTLED?-"Is
the matter settled between you and
God?" I asked solemnly Of one whose
declining health warned us to expect
her early removal from this world.
30 yes, sir" was her calm reply.
'How did you get it settled?"
'"Fhe Lord Jesus CHRIST settled it for
me-"
"And when did he do it for you ?" I
asked.
when he died OH the cross for my
sins"
"How long is it since you knew this
blessed and consoling fact?
The answer was readily given.
"About twelve months ago."
Anxious, however, to ascertain
grounds of this confidence, I asked,
"How did you know that the work
which Christ accomplished on the
cross for sinners was done for you?"
She at once replied, II read in the
Bible, and believed what I read" g..
And now, dear reader, have you
read in the Bible, and believed what
you have read? 1t is written, "Christ
came into the world to save Sinners"
Does this bring comfort to your soul?
Do you believe this faithful saying?

IT, II. in Messenger of Peace.)

PATIENCE AND LOVE IN THE
PEACE Cause.-The friends OF Peace
must in all their labors be patient,
kind, geEtle and respectful to all who
oppose them, or are stupidity indiffer-
ent toward the cause of peace. Will
liam Ladd never lost his good temper
amid all the Indifference to his good
work that so much tired his noble,
philanthropic soul. He never maui
tested quarrelsome and bitter spirit
as many reformers of great evils often
have. Such spirit is one of the sad
and pitiable weaknesses of poor hu-
man nature. 1t was amusingly said
of William Ladd, "He would not
fight, not even for peace" Let all the
friends of Peace, especially all who
call themselves Christians, move on in
their great and glorious work, "look-
ing unto Jesus" their Prince and Ex-
emplar of peace. Let each one "cease
from anger and forsake wrath and fret
not in any wise to do evil' though the
spirit of war may greatly prevail.

(ReU. Geo. Bo,Ucr.)


Blessed are the Peacemakers, for
they shall be called the children of
God. Christ is the Prince of Peace.
Peace on earth is the object of the
Messiah's mission. His followers
should follow peace with all men.
Their great object should be to per-
suade men to lay aside their hostilities
and renounce their resentments.
They should seek to extend the king
dom of their Master; but as that king
dom is peace they should seek no 9TH
er victory than that which consists in
bringing them one to another in holy
concord. Is my constant prayer this.
that God would teach me how I may
most thoroughly help the cause Of
peace in the world?

REAGAN ON FREE Pass Es.

The Hon. j. II. Reagan, of Texas,
has been interviewed on the prohib-
ition of free passes by the Interstate
Commerce bill, and here Is what he
said:
"The law depends greatly ON the
Interpretation put upon il by railroad
men, and by the commission to be ap-
pointed by the President. The effect
OF the law upon any particular person
or class was never considered. 1t was
made for the general good. Some may
benefit and some may suffer, but the
general effect will be good 10 the great.
er number of the people. The Inter.
state Commerce bill is law of the gen.
eral Government, and the general Gov
eminent has no authority to interfere
with commerce wholly within the
borders of any one State. For instance,
any railroad has perfect right to give
passes or any special rate that they
please wholly within the borders of
any State, but as soon as they cross the
border and go into any other State
they lay themselves liable to all the
provisions of law, and are amenabe to
its provisions. The general Govern
ment has no right to interfere with
commerce entirely within the State of
New York, any more than New York
has right to regulate commerce
partly in New York and partly in an
adjoining State, but the general Gov.
erhment has perfect right to regulate
that commerce which the States cannot
regulate"

country. 1t does not apply where
the business is carried on entirely in
one State or Territory.
The law declares that all charges
for transportation OF passengers or
freight shall be reasonable and just"
and any charge that is not so Is de
clared unlawful.
Section , prohibits unjust discrim
lnationN in charges for passengers or
freight, aud defines tins to be receiv.
ing from one person, fog similar SER

rebates, 'drawbacks,' or any other
device which has this result.
The third section makes it unlaw,
